KEEFE v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2022)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeks the reversal of a district court “Order Denying Defendant's Motion for Relief from Judgment or Order Pursuant to Rule 60 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure Based on New and Equitable Rules of Law Filed 10/2/2015.”

This court has original jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus and the issuance of such extraordinary relief is within this court's sole discretion. See Nev. Const. art. 6, § 4; D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 1.23 Nev. 468, 474-75, 168 P.3d 731, 736-37 (2007). Petitioner bears the burden to show that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted.

Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
